A Text-Book of Elementary Botany available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Excerpt from A Text-Book of Elementary Botany This book has been prepared for use in schools in which elementary Botany is taught during the last half or last third of the school year. It is believed that a course in Botany which is designed for those who are taking their first lessons in the subject and most of whom will not have opportunity to pursue it farther, ought to afford opportunity for scientific training as well as for obtaining some general information concerning the vegetable kingdom, particularly in relation to the growth and development of plants, their relationships, their uses, etc. Accordingly, directions for practical work, observation, and performing experiments have been offered throughout, but in immediate connection with the paragraphs of the text that pertain to the subject in hand. This has not interrupted the proper symmetry and logical arrangement of the topics that should be included in an elementary course for high schools. The practical work indicated need not and should not be a verification of the text; that, it is true, would be an improvement over mere text-book work, but it lacks the very spirit and essential feature of scientific work. The observation and experimentation must be made to find out the facts in the case. This will afford scientific training and, besides, real knowledge will be gained.
